+1 for the general layout.
As a side note, I'd like we consider introducing a hook for macros to
provide their own insertion dialog (in place of the generic 2bis).
This
would allow to have restrictions on parameter combinations. (for
example: user can define a value for param2 only if param1 has been
set
to a specific value - this is the case for the map macro : we could
say
width and height parameters are meaningless unless the size parameter
has been set to "custom"). I suppose we could also define those
rules in
the rendering with new annotations and still use a generic dialog, but
it would probably be overkill compared to custom dialogs provided by
the
macro itself.
Yes but Dialog is about UI. We cannot have UI in the macro itself. We
could have separate WYSIWYG extensions but it would be done in the
WYSIWYG not in the Rendering/Macro.
What we can have in macros are constraints/validation information.
Thanks

Anyway, just an idea.
